Until recently, very little was known regarding the ecology of glacial streams. Previous studies typically focused on one or a few aspects and were limited to the summer period. Moreover, this is the first ecological study of a glacial flood plain with a dynamic, multi-thread channel network. Year-round sampling of a system with a complex channel network spawned unanticipated results and new insights into the ecology of glacial streams. The book begins with the landscape features, glacial history, and floodplain evolution of the Val Roseg. This is followed by chapters on channel typology, groundwater-surfacewater interactions, thermal heterogeneity, and nutrient dynamics. Chapters on the biota deal with terrestrial and aquatic flora, hyphomycete fungi, surface zoobenthos, and the interstitial fauna. Functional processes are addressed in chapters on organic matter dynamics, litter decomposition, nutrient limitation, and drift and colonization patterns. The final chapter provides a | 出版日期 | Book 2003 | 关键词 | Ecology; Fauna; Flora; ecosystem; ecosystems; seasonal dynamics; temporal dynamics; vegetation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-0181-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-6507-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-0181-5Series ISSN 1573-4595 Series E-ISSN 2543-005X | issn_series | 1573-4595 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2003 |
